Three weeks ago, Ethan Cross was nobody. A factory worker from Earth who stumbled onto something impossible in the dark, made one bad decision, and woke up on the other side of the galaxy with a sentient starship bonded to his soul and a life he never could have imagined. He's been catching up ever since. But catching up is over. When a distress beacon arrives from deep in contested space, it doesn't just mean a teammate is in danger — it means the enemy has done something that should have been impossible. Something that rewrites every assumption the network has been operating on for years.

They built a network to save their lives. Now something ancient is using it to reach inside their minds. Former factory worker Ethan Cross never wanted a starship. Now he and Vesper, the sentient ship bonded to his mind, are attempting something no one has dared in a hundred thousand years: gathering the galaxy's scattered, hunted pilots into a single connected fleet. A song in the dark that promises no one has to fly alone again. But a bright fire draws wolves. Something patient and deathless beyond the frontier has heard the song. It doesn't want their hulls. It wants the bond itself.
